Video Transcript for Feature Breakdown: Torflex Lift Kit

Speaker 1: Today we're taking a look at the TourFlex Lift Kit. This lift kit is designed to raise your trailer frame to provide 3 1/8 inches of additional clearance between the trailer frame and the axle. This is ideal for trailers needing to gain a bit more ground clearance. Again, it raises the trailer frame 3 1/8 inches off the axle. This is designed for use on trailers with tandem number 12 TourFlex axles, with a 5,500 pound to 7,000 pound capacity. It works on side-mounted axle systems only. And the spacers are constructed of a durable steel construction, and they have a black paint finish.

So with this kit, you get four frame spacers, and you get all the necessary installation hardware needed to complete the process.Basically, what happens is . the way this attaches is let's picture as if my trailer's going this way. I have the front of the trailer and the rear of the trailer. So the flat side faces the wheel assembly. The internal side would face the underside of the trailer.

And then, basically what we have is we have hardware to attach to the top of the axle. Then we have hardware . We have these holes here, so we have the necessary hardware to also attach to the frame of the trailer.Each side of each spacer is gonna have two attachment points: One on the bottom, which you're gonna attach it to the axle, one on the side, which would attach to the trailer frame. It's got the welded-in supports. It's a nice, strong, durable design.When it comes to the overall measurements, measuring edge to edge, each one measures the same.

We're looking at 12 inches long. Overall height 3 1/8 inches, that's where we get our clearance measurement from. And then the overall depth is 2 1/2 inches.That's gonna do it for today's look at the TourFlex Lift Kit. Again, these are designed for number 12 TourFlex axles, with 5,500 pound to 7,000 pound capacities.

Torflex Lift Kit - Tandem Axle - 3-1/8" Lift - K71-725-02

Average Customer Rating:  4.6 out of 5 stars   (593 Customer Reviews)

by:

Customer service is impeccable and helpful. The length of the lift fit our mount but the wholes for two bolts didn’t line up. Our trailer has a Lippert Axle and we had to drill two holes to fit the bolts properly. I contacted Lippert and they no longer sell the lift kits. Aside from going to a shop and paying over $1k for someone to fabricate a solution for us; this is the route we chose.



by:

Great product. Added height to the trailer to increase the height adjustability of the tongue to prevent hitting the top of the bed rails.



by:

Prior to installing this kit, I was unable to remove my tires without first deflating them. The same went for reinstallation. The kit works perfect and was easy to install. I'd recommend it for anyone needing to raise their trailer.

To date Ive had no issues, the product has worked well.



by:

Parts were all there. But they were just thrown in a box. The black finish was chipping off.



by:

My brother installed them at my house. Had he remembered his big jack stands it would’ve gone faster. Everything bolted up easily and the trailer now clears the pickup bed.

It’s worked out great.



by:

My 28’ car trailer was dragging every time I pulled into a parking lot or gas station.
I ordered & installed the lift kit & haven’t drug since!
It was easy to install (about 3 hours for both sides) with no drilling or fabricating. Removing the old, rusty nuts & bolts was the worst of it.
The kit came complete with new hardware, so it went together easily.
The instructions were thorough & complete.
Great product!!!



by:

exelent fast shipping perfect fitment on the lift kit (holes were off by 1/8 on the my trailer frame mounts
those 3" got me the bottom clearance i needed



by:

Kit was pretty easy to install. Leveled out our horse trailer very well. This allowed us to keep the front of the trailer off the pickup box, while keeping the rear of the trailer from dragging. I also noticed I was getting some tire wear on the rear axle, due to the pitch of the trailer. This has stopped. Great product.



by:

We needed a lift for sure we do missions on the woods. As opposed to welding and buying new axles this is a pretty simple kit to install. There was a little grinding on the trailers sloppy welding and cleaning up the bold holes but it turned our great. Thanks.



by:

Very pleased with the lift kit. I installed it on my 1977 thirty one foot Airstream trailer. I had to adjust one hole but other than that it was perfect. That was probably due to the fact that the trailer is 43 years old. It took me and a friend about four hours to complete the installation.



by:

I give a "good" rating only due to small discrepancies such as seen in attached pics. The product is not powder coated, as claimed, yet appears to be enamel baked on without primer. I went no further than opening the box and viewing the contents, after seeing the ragged condition the product was in (see pics). Seems strong enough to do what was intended, just not on my TT. Will I buy from etrailer in the future? YOU BET!



by:

Quick ship, easy instructions,But holes don't exactly line up the same between all spacers. Put the ones that are offset on one axle so it shifted it rearwards 1/8 inch at its most forward position that the holes will allow. Had to shuffle the spacers to make it work as I marked with a square straight down the front of the axle bracket made it work as there is plenty of room in the wheel well.



by:

Got it faster than expected. Great comm unication.



by:

Each install, everything was exactly what it supposed to be.

Great Service & Support

Great Product! it Really help get the trailer up future from the road. easy to install too



by:

Kit seemed to be built well. Got my order a little slow, free shipping.. went on easy and instructions were clear, not many steps. When I did get my order it was missing a block. I called and the lady was extremely helpful. It wasn’t retailers fault, box was damaged in shipping, a block was left out when taped back together by a ups employee. I made the mistake of not counting parts in the beginning, just started to install. However it took 2 weeks to get the new block. I was told it would be marked urgent and would get it in a couple of days. I called a week later and was told again it would be marked urgent, at that point I asked if I could pay for faster shipping and was told no that it would be shipped fast. It took longer to get one piece which was in stock than it did to get original order. Not happy with the “urgent” but overall I am happy.

Working great. I’ve been on a few 100+ mile trips and no issues, pulls straight still. Was an easy install except the missing block which took way to long to receive.

Not really good, I gave you all the info on my trailer and you sent me a double axle lift kit and I only have a single.

I apologize for the mistake. Customer Service will reach out to you.



by:

This lift kit worked fantastic for our trailer. Despite having Lippert axles this kit bolted up with no fuss at all. I was very impressed with the quality of the hardware provided, it was by far better than the factory hardware that the manufacturer used. Overall, I would buy this kit again in a heartbeat.



by:

This lift kit was well made with all the needed hardware. We have a steep driveway and needed to raise out trailer. This raised us 3 1/8". Install was quick and easy. Watch your brake wires ours were to short and needed extended. This was way easier than doing spring overs on other trailers. I would definitely use this again when I get a new trailer.



by:

I used these in a welded application. My axles were welded in place. Once the axles were cut free, I aligned and bolted the brackets in place, welded the axles back on. Gained the clearance I was after to give bed rail clearance with the gooseneck as well as give more even axle weight distribution over both axles. Sure a bolt and play scenario would have been great but sometimes you have to make work with what you’ve got. Turned out great!



by:

Delivery was good for timely. The box obviously had been damaged and re-taped alon the way. Not all the hardware was there. Missing a few nuts bolts and washers.

Thank you for reaching back out and letting us know about this. We will get you that missing hardware. I have sent your information to our customer service team, and they will be getting in touch with you about this.



by:

Renovating formerly owned 1978 23' Airstream Safari. Lifting the frame will give 3" more clearance for the the Fresh water tank, previously damaged from an impact from below...perhaps a big rock from off-road excursion. This also allows for Gray and Black tanks to become 3" deeper for greater capacity without much consequence beyond filled weight.

Product arrived complete and without flaw as shown on website, not yet installed.

Although product does not come with lock-washers, if there is room on the bolts, it would offer additional assurance that nuts do not back off, (along with 90 ft-lbs of torque).

    There are a few lift kits available, but they are all for very specific Torflex model torsion axles so you'll first need to verify what you have on the trailer. #10 Torflex axles with 2,300 to 4,000-lb capacities - Torflex Lift Kit - 2-5/8" Lift # K71-707-02 #11 Torflex axles with 4,100-6,000-lb capacities - Torflex Lift Kit - 2-7/8" Lift # K71-724-02 #12 Torflex axles with 5,500-7,000-lb capacities - Torflex Lift Kit - 3-1/8" Lift # K71-725-02 If you don't have one of these specific...

  • What Torflex Lift Kit Do I Need For My 2022 Rockwood Mini Lite RLT2509S-W?
    I can definitely help and point you in the right direction. We have a few lift kits available and it will just depend on exactly what kind of axles you have on your camper. The Lift kit # K71-725-02 that you were looking at will #12 Torflex axles with 5,500-7,000-lb capacities. I did look up some specs on your camper. I was not able to confirm exactly what axles they put on there, but looking at the GVW and CCC you may have a slightly smaller axle than a 5,500 lb. If this is the case...

  • Lift Kit Compatible With a Keystone Fuzion 5TH Wheel Toy Hauler
    If your Keystone Fuzion 5th wheel toy hauler uses Dexter # 12 Torflex torsion axles then the Lift Kit # K71-725-02 is what you will need to raise the trailer 3-1/8". As most of these types of trailers use double eye leaf springs it is more likely you will need either the Tandem Axle Lift Kit # RR23QX or Triple Axle Lift Kit # RR55QX depending on your number of axles. This will give you either 1-1/4" or 2-1/4" of lift depending on the setting which best levels with your F-450.

My contact at Dexter Axle said that since the way the axles are made could be different, it is not guaranteed that any of the Lift Kits would fit.

  • Looking For Torsion Axle Lift Kit For 2024 Stealth With Two 5,000 lb Rated Torsion Axles
    Hello James. The correct lift kit for your 5K torsion axles is the Torflex Lift Kit - Tandem Axle - 2-7/8" Lift # K71-724-02. The # K71-725-02 that you mentioned is for axles with 5,500-7,000-lb capacities so this would not be correct. The kit that you will need, the # K71-724-02 is a 2-7/8" lift.

  • Will Dexter Torflex Lift Kit Work with ALKO Axles
    The Dexter Torflex Lift Kits like the Tandem Axle # K71-725-02 that you referenced are only confirmed to work with Dexter Torflex axles. It's possible that the spacers will fit with your AL-KO axles but this has not been tested. The spacers for this kit feature bolt holes that are 9 inches apart on center and 9-1/2 inches apart on center (see attached image). You can use this to determine if the kit will work on your converted toy hauler.

  • Could Dexter Torflex Lift Kit Fit 2021 Exiss 7400 Horse Trailer
    Hey Robert, so the Dexter Torflex lift kit part # K71-725-02 that you referenced is designed to fit Torflex axles that are between 5,500 and 7,000 lbs. I don't know for certain what axles your horse trailer has so you'd need to verify that by checking your axles. I was able to find that the axles are probably 7k rubber torsion axles so as long as you can verify they are Dexter brand you should be good. If you find that you have somethin else let me know and I'll see what options you have.

This kit will provide an additional 3-1/8 inches of rise and will help level out your trailer so it isn't nose high. As you mentioned, this kit is not compatible with top-mounted torsion axles, or 3 inch tall brackets, so as long as your Torflex axles are side mounted, and the axle brackets are not 3 inches tall, as shown in the attached photo, the # K71-725-02...

For example, the Dexter Torflex Kit # K71-724-02 is compatible with #11 Torflex axles with a 4,100-6,000 pound capacity. For #12 Torflex axles with 5,500-7,000 pound capacities...
